Smooth means that it is not singular http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_curve#Singularities
Projective means that it is in projective space instead of affine space http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_curve#Plane_projective_curves
Curve means that it isn't a surface or something bigger (like a surface)
